  • Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Older Adults

    Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Older Adults

    Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Older Adults Introduction The “Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Older Adults” are intended to assist psychologists in evaluating their own readiness for working with older adults, and in seeking and using appropriate education and training to increase their knowledge, skills and experience relevant to this area of practice. “Older adults” typically refers to persons 65 years of age and older and is widely used by gerontological researchers and policy makers. We use “older adults” in this document since it is commonly used by geropsychologists and is the recommended term in APA publications (APA, 2010). The specific goals of these professional practice guidelines are to provide practitioners with (a) a frame of reference for engaging in clinical work with older adults, and (b) basic information and further references in the areas of attitudes, general aspects of aging, clinical issues, assessment, intervention, consultation, professional issues, and continuing education and training relative to work with this group. The guidelines recognize and appreciate that there are numerous methods and pathways whereby psychologists may gain expertise and/or seek training in working with older adults. This document is designed to offer recommendations on those areas of awareness, knowledge and clinical skills considered as applicable to this work, rather than prescribing specific training methods to be followed. The guidelines also recognize that some psychologists will specialize in the provision of services to older adults, and may therefore seek more extensive training consistent with practicing within the formally recognized specialty of Professional Geropsychology (APA, 2010b) http://www.apa.org/ed/graduate/specialize/gero.aspx.

    U.S. Home Care Workers: Key Facts U.S

    U.S. HOME CARE WORKERS: KEY FACTS U.S. HOME CARE WORKERS More than 2 million home care workers across the U.S. provide personal assistance and health care support to older adults and people with disabilities in home and community-based settings.1 The home care workforce—primarily comprised of women and people of color—has doubled in size over the past 10 years as the delivery of long-term services and supports has increasingly shifted from institutional settings, such as nursing homes, to private homes and communities. In coming years, the rapidly growing population of older adults will drive demand for home care workers even higher. By 2050, the population of people over the age of 65 will nearly double, from 47.8 million to 88 million. Recruiting adequate numbers of home care workers to fill these jobs is becoming increasingly difficult, as evidenced by continual reports of workforce shortages.2 One reason for the shortages is the poor quality of home care jobs: wages are low and access to employer-provided benefits is rare. With a median hourly wage of $10.11 and work that is often part time or part year, home care workers earn on average $13,300 annually. As a result, one in four home care workers lives below the federal poverty line (FPL) and over half rely on some form of public assistance.

  • Aging Resource Facts

    Aging Resource Facts

    Resources for Psychological Practice With Older Adults and Their Caregivers The APA Office on Aging developed this list of resources to supplement the recently updated APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Older Adults and in response to the Institute of Medicine report The Mental Health and Substance Use Workforce for Older Adults: In Whose Hands, which noted a dire need for health providers of all disciplines to meet the mental and behav- ioral health needs of older adults. All psychologists, even those who do not currently specialize in or work with older adults, may find these resources useful. People 65 and older are the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population, and the demand for psychologists with expertise in older adult care will expand as the older population grows. This demand is expected to rise as the “baby boomer” cohort— who are more accepting of mental health services—moves into old age. Also, as clients age, their needs may change, and additional issues specific to mid- and late life may emerge. Even if you do not work directly with older adults, related issues may arise when working with your own cli- ents (e.g., those caring for aging parents). list of resources The resources listed below and additional Resources on Aging resources may be found on the Office on Aging website: www.apa.org/pi/aging For more information, contact Deborah DiGilio, Director, APA Office on Aging: [email protected] APA resources APA consumer education materials • Guidelines for Psychological Practice With • Coping With Stress and
